Define the term “chirality”.
Your Answer:
the concept of “handedness” in an object.
Answer:
“Chirality” is the concept of “handedness” in an object. That is,
certain objects, chiral objects, can exist in two forms that are
mirror images of one another, yet are not interchangeable, like a
left- and right-handed glove. In terms of organic chemistry, a
molecule is chiral when it is non-superimposable on its own
mirror image.
